you've been busting your butt the entire wedding season and you're so exhausted that you've started having nightmares about forgetting your DSLR at home, writing guest names wrong on the escort cards, or forgetting to move cocktail hour from the bar to outside. You need a vacation, my dear, and you need it now.
And whether you're jonesing for a staycation or a wild-and-crazy trip to a ...

(My husband hates when I speak in absolutes, but I think it's safe to do so for the above statement.)
And just so you understand the importance of this, I'm going to bold it for you (if this were a lecture in college, you'd wanna write this one down):
Comparison is not evil, it is human nature. It keeps ...

I was just saying to a friend that this holiday season seems much more cheerful than last year. And maybe it's because I'm living in a place that actually has seasons (I still love you, Florida!), but it feels more like the holidays this year, too.

Seattle, Washington

Sablewood Paper Company believes in celebrating all kinds of love, always and forever.

Hi! My name is Holly, and I'm the calligrapher and graphic designer behind Sablewood Paper Company. I'm a passionate believer in high-touch, low-tech, old-fashioned mail. I love to create experiences for my brides and couples through paper, telling their love stories in a way that they never thought possible.

I'm a mimosa lover (95% champagne, 5% orange juice, please), an occasional Netflix-binger, and lover of online shopping. I'm also an introvert and can usually be found reading a book, listening to music, or driving around town. This sunny south Florida native is currently living in Seattle, Washington with my husband and two cats, gushing over mountains every time I see them.
